SL-280 – Installing in a Rack
Installing in a Rack
This section provides instructions for rack mounting SL-280. Before installing in a rack, verify
that the environment is within the recommended range:
• Operation temperature – 0° to 40°C (32 to 104°F).
• Storage temperature – -40° to +70°C (-40 to +158°F).
• Humidity – 10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.
When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:
• It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient
temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room
temperature.
• Once rack mounted, there is enough air still flow around SL-280.
• SL-280 is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.
• You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting SL-280 to the supply circuit,
overloading the circuits may have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example,
for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.
• SL-280 is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with
grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example,
when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension
cable or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.
To rack-mount SL-280:
1. Attach both rack ears to SL-280:
Remove the screws from each side of SL-280 (3 on
each side), and replace them through the rack ears.
2. Place the rack ears of SL-280 against the rack rails
and insert the appropriate screws (not provided)
through each of the four holes in the rack ears.
Some models, may feature built
-in rack ears:
• Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use.
• Always mount SL-280 in the rack before connecting any cables or power.
